How many m and m's does the average person eat in a year?

On average, a person consumes about 10 to 12 pounds of candy annually, which includes M&M's among other types. Since M&M's are typically sold in bags of varying sizes, estimating an exact number can be tricky. However, if we assume an average bag contains about 1.69 ounces and there are approximately 32 M&M's in that bag, a rough estimate might suggest that an average person could eat several hundred to a few thousand M&M's in a year, depending on individual preferences and consumption habits.
